I have a 28-2 ser no S-250,000. It has a target hammer and trigger with a 4" bbl. It appears to be unfired. The letter from Roy says it went to an employee who picked it up at Camfour. I believe it was Dave Baker which was a code name at Camfour for employee. Havn't found out who the real Dave is yet! Larry

Absolutely ! Thanks Al

Ser.# N 172xxx 4in.

Ser.#N 220xxx 6in.

I have a 4" HP ser N5294XX purchased by my ex-brother inlaw as a duty weapon from Inland Marine in Palestine, Texas on 1/30/79. He was on the Anderson County Sheriff's Department at the time, and eventually replaced this weapon with a Glock. It's in excellent condition, with box and papers. I occasionally shoot a PPC match with it, just for grins. It will never leave my hands, for sure...

Here mine. The top one is a 4 screw S194xxx
The bottom is a 3, S294558, purchased in 1968 in LA becasue I could not afford a 27.

"1974--1977 N200000

1975--1976 N300000"

Eh?

The 'Second Edition' lists:

N190001 thru N430000 production dates from 1975 thru 1977. What am I missing here? My own 28-2 is numbered 2812xx which would suggest a mfg. date sometime in early-to-mid 1976.

i have a 28-3, 6", serial N957711 dated 8/14/83
i have others HPs but can not add to date info

Nicely done! Geez , mine is the oldest 6" 5-screw so far.

Shame I might be trading it away soon.

6" 28-2 S2250XX 1962
4" 28-2 N1141XX 1973
4" 28-2 N2554XX 1977

Allen-frame, a spread sheet like Excel is a wonderful, relatively low-tech tool for manipulating data. Depending on information you collect, you can sort the info in interesting ways w/graphs. I'm probably preaching to the choir but just wanted to get that out there. Good luck.

Here's my M28-2.Serial number N294XXX
